Yeah yeah he didn't defeat Adam.

But can we take a moment to first of all appreciate how cool and handsome looks here and the fact that HE FUCKING SURVIVED?

He survived a fight not with an exorcist angel, but with fucking Adam. And at first, he actually managed to land some blows that apparently hurt.

(Why didn't they give Alastor an angelic weapon will always puzzle me. I mean, the man can clearly shoot, don't turn him into a lead farmer but at least get him a Winchester. Or get him a sword)

And when Adam struck him right to the che chest with his axe, that I guess is not an ordinary angelic steel axe, HE SURVIVED???

HE RETREATED, AND SURVIVED????

Just the fact that he survived is a win.

pouring one out for the AO3 Abuse Team people who will be flooded with false reports from Wattpad refugees about "disgusting" tags

[dawn-o-fire-blog]

For the guys and gals who will have to tolerate those idiots's reports.

If people are leaving Wattpad because of the censorship, then coming to AO3 only to beg for censorship what's the point? It’s called Archive of Our Own for a reason, it is ours. For us and by us.

Because apparently it needs to be spelled out, I’m writing out some of the unwritten rules of AO3:

Don't like, don't read - you can have your own opinions but if you don't like it just scroll past, it's that easy. Let it be.

Read. The. Tags. - the tags are warnings of what the story will include. That is your guide. If there is something you're not comfortable with in the tags then scroll past. The AO3 tagging system is genius and lets you filter out the things you don’t like, so you don’t even have to see the stories you might not be comfortable with if you don’t want to. Use the tags.

Do not spread the stories outside of fandom spaces - fanfiction is for the fans. Especially when it’s RPF it is not to be referenced or brought up to the people who it is about. They are all very aware that it is made but that doesn’t mean they want to read it or know about it. I don’t care what you say, it is unavoidable and as long as it is not widespread and stays in its own space it is not harmful. It is up to the fans to respect that. (That being said if the people who the RPF fics are about search them up or reference fics themselves that’s a bit different and the rules change a bit.)

Respect the authors - the authors spend their own time writing stories, many of which are genuinely incredibly written and well thought out, for absolutely nothing in return. You get to read pieces of work for free by authors who are doing it for free. Do not go to the comments and complain or say they should have done something else or report because they wrote something you’re not comfortable with. And respect the authors wishes when they say not to share their work anywhere else.

Basically just respect fandom spaces, keep them separate from reality, and mind your own business. It’s so easy.

It’s a very under-appreciated thing to have an archive where people can put their work out for the world to see and make art that can be appreciated and easily accessed by other people on a wide scale, and it needs to be protected.

I don't think people who come from wattpad after the purge and now want ao3 to have its own official app understand that one of the main reasons behind the recent wattpad purge that drove them to ao3 was due to pressure from appstore demanding wattpad to be more strict and follow appstore's policy. wattpad complied in order for its app to be able to remain on appstore. thus the wattpad purge.

ao3 doesn't have an app because for it to have an app, appstore will have to approve it first. and if, hypothetically, ao3 needs appstore to approve it, it will also have to abide by appstore's pro-censorship stance and start banning dark and taboo fics, which is against its own core principle of being completely against censorship.

ao3 doesn't need an app. it works more than fine without an app. the reason ao3 can allow dark and taboo fics, the reason it can allow the most disgusting and shockingly vile fics, and be completely against censorship is because it doesn't need appstore's approval. it stands on its own as a non-profit organization with functioning site and a team of lawyers protecting its platform, its users, and every single fanwork on its platform.

everybody say thank you ao3

here's the list of things you need to know about ao3 if you're new to the platform

Thank you, Ao3
